Dave,

 I will have my camera ready, I will have someone taking a movie also when
we
 roll into my drive for the burger blast after the cookout.

Burger blast? What's that?

 It is neat to think while
you are riding a bike, that you know every part it, I was thinking back to
when I assembled the engine while I was riding it at 80 mph, imagining the
rods pumping up and down, the gears driving the cam etc., etc. pretty
awesome experience!

Hey...I think like that too! :-)

 
I personally think awards suck! I prefere the fellowship and riding! All
loops are cool and some have extreme character (like Kermit) I like em all!
Been doing bikes and shows for years, even won several awards, but the
most
fun has always been the ride!

I think awards are ok...as long as people don't take them too seriously. To
each their own, however if I was going to hold a rally I don't think I would
have awards.

I have to agree with you about each bike having its own character. I don't
think there was a Loop at the AR that was the same. Even Russ and Laurie who
showed up on Eldos had different looking bikes....even though they were both
white!

Kermit is definately a unique and cool bike. Norine was nothing like I had
seen before with the grey colour...very nice. The Blue Goose was very
original. I even liked seeing Leon's original and somewhat ratty black Eldo
along side Elisabeth's red one. Frankly I don't think there was one Loop
there that was the same. I like that.
